Absolutely amazing!! My favorite read of 2021 so far. It is a beautiful story that explores love, loss, ego, and war. I cannot recommend enough. This books encapsulates the classic story of the Iliad and the War of Troy in a way that is so easily comprehensible and accessible to ANYONE, while still giving us heart-stopping lines that will stick with you for a long time to come! I would give this book more than 5 stars if I could!
